[@TheBonsaiZone]

It just keeps getting better!

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Just like a good bottle of wine! 😃

[@gailc3334]

I had the same problem with one of my desert roses and it all look like I’m gonna call it cancer. I bought the paste that you recommended online and Wahala it healed everything. Thank you.

[@ivyboydstun5432]

Jerome, you ROCK!

[@bethdietz7559]

What a beautiful desert rose! I’m so glad it recovered under your care. Please continue to update us when it comes out in leaf!

[@garyyanofsky9020]

[@judithstodola5521]

Ohhhh Jerome, that is one fantabulous desert rose. Love, love, love!

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Thank you so much Judith!!

[@beardedbonsai]

I love seeing the big adenium. I have one here in the hudson valley NY. It is alive but I think it doesn't like it here to much.

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Hi! They need a lot of heat and sun to strive! Even here in Georgia, they do well in the summer but winter is a struggle for us too.

[@beardedbonsai]

@@WeareTheBonsaiSupply One of these years I hope to build a greenhouse. Until then I try to stay away from tropicals but I just couldn't resist after seeing some of the desert roses you work on. Thanks for the reply.

[@milletanarna9278]

You are great. Very nice bonsais. It look so easy but I doubt if I can do it.

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Thank you, and You can do it!

[@Jbhuynh]

Just recently bought your soil from HD for my desert rose. I must say it is some really great soil. I love how fast draining it is and allows me to water more often. Will definitely be my go to soil from now on.

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Hey Trong! Thank you so much! 🙌 🙌

[@gailc3334]

I watched that video when you put lime paste on it to heal. I am happy to tell you I healed one of my Adeniums the same way after watching your video. I wish I could send you the picture.

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

That’s great to hear Gail! Please send me the pictures to [e-mail]

[@gailc3334]

@@WeareTheBonsaiSupply I will send. I also wonder if you can look at another one that it has a strange trunk and branches.

[@Bonsaifly]

This is one awesome Desert Rose. I actually like that you see some change in texture where it's been cut back because of the rot. It adds a lot of character :)

[@roseisen6407]

Awesome. Gaining new knowledge on adenium bonsai. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to see the outcome.

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Thank you for watching Rose! We are glad it was helpful 😀

[@raymondplodzien7459]

Great information. That is one awesome looking desert rose!

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Thank you Raymond! Cheers!

[@VinciecBonsaiJourney]

Very nice tree! Ive done your technique of cutting the base flat and letting it dry out, just planted it the other day and so far so good. Hope to get that tree to this level one day!

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Nice work Vincent! yes you will, trust in the process!

[@juliesmith1874]

Can’t wait to see it in bloom!

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

You and me both Julie! 😃

[@mangeshthawre416]

Such a beautiful Adenium 👌👍

[@JonGarrood]

Awesome work I'll check that link now

[@PeterSzymanski]

Great vid. It's fascinating how you can dry these out, style, repot and still don't water for another 2 weeks. Amazing. Just bought my fist adenium to train it as bonsai. Do you have any updates on this particular tree after 10 months?

[@CaptainNusantara]

Very inspiring, thanks for sharing 👍

[@akshaypawar4701]

Amazing Jerome Sir 🔥👍👏

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Thank you brother!!

[@GraftingTactick]

Your wiring skills are so amazing, the end product looks so gorgeous 👌💕again, another awesome vid👍👏

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Hi! thank you so much for your kind words!

[@Mannavegr]

Great video! What does one have to do to get the desert rose to flower? Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@phasicsbonsaiworld6902]

Awesome buddy, brilliant!

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Thank you brother!

[@bonsaibhutiyapa6550]

Wow...... It's beautiful 👌👌👌

[@JigneshPatel-nz6nb]

Sir pls share video after grow this adenium

[@bizmayker]

Great info and looks great Jerome! I love it! Being in SW Florida should I wait until rainy season is over before wiring?

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Hey David! I generally do the wiring in early spring or the winter time. It is so much easier and the branches are much more flexible

[@wadmadhushan4434]

Very beautiful bonsai

[@rajmangalsingh9660]

Always loved ur video 👍

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Thank you so much Raj!!

[@ronnorton6590]

I find your show to be educational and very helpful when applying your techniques to my Bonsai. One thing I would find very helpful for me is if you would let us know the time of year and temperature, like mid September and the mid 80s. Thanks, Ron Norton

[@kokomon5]

What gauges of wire do u use ?, love your work, u are easy to learn from

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Hey JM! Thank you so much for your kind words! I used 3-3.5mm on the thick branches and 2-2.5mm on the thinner top branches.

[@ronnorton6590]

I live in southwest Florida and noticed that a few of my desert rose are pushing out new growth. Is it a good time to trim and repot ?

[@almahernandez9920]

I am in the process of doing the lid technique and I was wondering what fertilizer to use when I repot it and how often should I fertilize it?

[@OceanLife772]

Can you do a video explaining why container size matters? I just repotted one into a very shallow beautiful pot however, it has about 4” of extra expanse ALL around. Will it make the caudex grow bigger? Or only longer branches? Thank you! Teresa from Vero Beach, FL

[@carloscruz6536]

Nice job 👍 I

[@bulebonsaibatam1758]

Jerome what’s your thoughts on multiple Adenium trees bound together from seedlings? I have a few small and medium trees. The info you share is very useful. I’m in Indonesia. Max

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Hey Max, that works very well.

[@ReizenCreations]

Can your all purpose mix be used alone or would you recommend I amend it for better results?(I should add I live in the low Sonoran desert, so very hot and dry)

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Use it as is. it is ready to go out the bag. mixing it with other aggregates or soils would defeat the purpose. 🙂

[@ikaputranto2079]

What is planting medium?

[@ikaputranto2079]

@@WeareTheBonsaiSupply do you only use bonsai soil?

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

@@ikaputranto2079 Yes IKA, that's the only soil we use

[@danielcluley870]

So generally speaking, use a very draining, slightly acidic soil. I use a combination of potting soil, perlite, sand, lava rocks, and crushed up pine bark nuggets. Very well crushed Pine bark is great for the soil of this type of plant. I put this in a layer on top of a base layer of well draining lava rocks and sand in the bottom of the pot. The 2 layer system works well, as the soil drains at the bottom and prevents issues with root-rot or over-watering.

[@matdamerique3442]

i have one to and i struggle a bit with it i tend to wait till it's fully dry befor watering is this good? i'm in quebec canada the tree stay inside all year long but has a full south window

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Hey Mat! Water more frequently. Keep the soil a little moist and never let it dry out completely unless you are planning to repot, or have it go dormant.

[@michaelmccarthy4077]

It definitely has a Disney Animal Kingdom Tree of Life vibe to it.

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Hey Michael! That is too funny, and very true!!

[@OceanLife772]

I can’t believe you water it everyday….? I was told not to water them more than one a week. Question, does it matter that you have it in ‘rocks”? In other words, if I have them in a chunky dirt mix, how often should I water them during summer? I also have some in river rock that I was watering once every 10 days. I feel so bad I starved it. It actually look really healthy and getting ready to bloom again. Thank you for you time.

[@OceanLife772]

Never mind…..You clarified the watering at the end of the video.

[@paulvalor8022]

I have very weird Adeniums in my collection. One in form of a tower, and the other is as wide a possible. And they both are refusing to grow unless I'm overwatering them. They are literally sitting in mud and blooming.

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Hey Paul, Those are most likely imports from Thailand. Imported adeniums always struggle to adjust to the states since the climate is very different. I suggest you repot them both into our bonsai soil and give them time to recover. One of my big adeniums took 2 years to adjust.

[@larryshannon6791]

How old is that tree?

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Hey Larry! I would say it is around 15 -20 years old

[@Sayef_Li]

These plants are so heavy. Mine broke a pot in half 😂😢

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

ohh wow! 😂 😂

[@rajmangalsingh9660]

Please show sometimes ur treatise snail on public demand plzzz

[@LoukasKar]

I keep killing every single desert rose I buy. Greece here.

[@danielcluley870]

Get the right soil and don't water as much as you think.

[@LoukasKar]

@@danielcluley870 last time I had pure pumice and yet i killed it.

[@danielcluley870]

@@LoukasKar That was likely due to damaging the roots. Pumice soil is sharp, and can induce wounds in the roots of adenium that make it vulnerable to root-rot. Root-rot is the main killer of adenium, due to overwatering or infection. It is hard to kill an adenium from neglect.

[@danielcluley870]

This channel is exactly right in everything they tell you, although it is biased toward diligent and regular maintenance of plants in order to achieve aesthetically pleasing results. It is not necessary to do everything here. This is mostly just for good aesthetics. For a healthy plant, you should get your soil right and a regular maintenance routine, with watering and pruning. I would like to see a couple of videos for Idiots like me for the best way "not to kill" our plants.
